CHAPTER 121 TWO-WAY ATTACK
Lü Meng asked Song Hao to organize a stronger attack on the passage that had been dug, and asked He Si to lead people to sneak into the cave he escaped from first, striving to quickly clear the defenders at the entrance of the cave, and then let the general Sun Zicai lead three hundred soldiers to follow closely and launch a surprise attack on the underground defenders.

As for the escape passage for the people that led directly to the outside of the city, Lu Meng also organized personnel to dig it through, and even dug the exit outside the city, and sent sergeants to guard it there, as for the exit in the underground well, the passage inside was really narrow and long, so he had to give up and order the well to be blocked, so as not to attack and harass the ambush army from coming out of the exit again.
Song Hao asked the sergeant who had already arrived at the granary to lead the way, leading hundreds of people, according to the previously set strategy, while shooting rockets at the cave wall in front to illuminate it, and the sergeants behind hung lanterns along the way, and cautiously searched and advanced in turn. Since the forks eventually lead to the granary, after finding a passage, the rest of the forks were quickly filled and sealed to defend the army.
The first sergeant carrying the grain came out of the tunnel and reported to Song Hao: "I passed all the way and arrived at the granary smoothly, and I didn't encounter any ambush attacks." ”
"No attack?" Song Hao didn't feel glad, because the time he went down in person before, he wasn't attacked at first, "Then did you find the people trapped in there yesterday?" ”
The sergeant shook his head violently: "No." ”
No? Could it be that the people trapped inside yesterday couldn't even find their bodies? Forget it, don't think about it so much, Song Hao instructed them: "Since there is no attack, then hurry up, strengthen the passage, prevent it from collapsing again, and quickly move all the food inside." Tell the people inside to be on guard and that there is no attack now, which does not mean that it will be safe and sound after a while. ”
As expected, just as the sergeants safely brought out a lot of food, gradually relaxed their vigilance, and gradually increased the number of personnel, earth and rocks fell again somewhere on the top of the passage.
"Boom!" There was a sound on the ground and the dust was flying, which frightened the Jiangdong sergeants who were busy transporting grain.
Someone shouted: "It's a collapse again, run away!" "Throw down the sack of food on your shoulder and run.
There were not many earth and rocks that fell this time, and the passage was not completely blocked, but it still revealed a gap that could be bent over by one person.
Just as they were scrambling to run out of that gap, two spears suddenly stabbed down from the top of the collapse, piercing the two people who were bending over to pass, and nailed them there, and the way out was naturally completely blocked.
The Jiangdong sergeant who was hugging the tunnel was suddenly cut in two, and the people who were blocked inside could no longer get out of the passage, and the people who were cut off outside were so frightened that they turned around and ran back to the ground.
"Generals, generals, collapsed again, and people were blocked in again." The people who escaped gasped and reported to Song Hao in horror.
"What? Collapsed again? Then hurry up and let them dredge up and rescue the people inside. "There are about two hundred sergeants in there, which makes Song Hao have to be anxious.
The sergeant cried and said, "General, not only has it collapsed, but there will also be spears piercing out of the tunnel, nailing people to the ground alive!" ”
When Song Hao understood, he quickly organized personnel to go in to rescue.
"Help, help us!" The sergeants who were blocked in the tunnel heard another commotion outside, understood that someone had come to save them, and rushed to cry out one by one.
At this moment, they saw by the light of the fire that the two sergeants, who had been stabbed to death by bending over and lying on their stomachs, suddenly got up with their heads down, and then kept their limbs drooping, and slowly, slowly, slowly rising, then their backs, then their heads and torsos, and then their hanging limbs, little by little, disappeared into the top wall of the passage.
The hanging limbs, even shaking, seemed to beckon to them in the light of the flickering torches, and then they heard a strange whisper: "Please—follow—I—come—"
"What the hell!" The less timid were suddenly frightened by the underground resentment and fainted.
However, that nonsense made Song Hao even more firm in his judgment, and he hurriedly seized the opportunity of the dead man's flight to reveal the gap, threw two hoes into it, and shouted loudly: "Don't believe in any ghosts!" You're in an ambush, dig up the earth and rocks! "I also scolded those cowards in my heart, in fact, when the enemy pulled the dead corpse up just now, a few people could rush out of it, but those guys were stupid, not only did they not rush forward but retreated.
Sergeant Jiangdong came back to his senses, quickly picked up a hoe and shovel, and desperately dug and transported earth and rocks.
The defenders who were lying in ambush on it saw that they couldn't scare people anymore, so they raised their spears and poked them down: "If you are not afraid of death, rush to see if grandpa doesn't poke at the transparent hole of the two of you." ”
The Jiangdong sergeants hid in places where their spears could not pierce, and they only stretched out their hoes to shovel and plow the earth and stones. From time to time, spears and hoes collide with each other, making a "dang, dang" sound.
Seeing that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Song Hao ordered: "If you want to live, hurry up and rush out at the risk of death, if it's too late, you can only die inside!" ”
"These guys are not fun at all, they really spoil the uncles." The defenders above saw that they couldn't scare others by pretending to be ghosts, so they had to change their tactics: "If you don't want to play skewers, the uncles will become meat sauce with you!" ”
Song Hao had a bad heart, and just wanted to draw everyone's attention, a few big stones fell from the top, stoning the sergeant who was about to rush through the gap to death, and completely sealed the gap.
"It's over!" Song Hao shouted bitterly, the enemy was well prepared, and he was afraid that there would be no hope of rescuing the people inside, so he had to shout: "Brothers inside, there is no way to get out here, you go back and find another exit to kill out, there must be more than one exit in this underground passage!" ”
After a pause, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone run, be careful that we are all blocked in the future!" When he turned around, he found that there were few people behind him.
Unlike Song Hao's side, the entrance that Sun Zicai led his troops to attack didn't seem to have any mechanism. He Si and several other sergeants who were the first to be sent to drill into the mouth, although they were discovered by the defenders, they shot quickly, and several crossbows were fired at the same time, which instantly turned the enemy outpost into a corpse.
By the time the entrance was widened and the sergeants continued to pour in, they had not yet seen any reaction from the enemy in the depths of the tunnel.
He Si led the way in front and led everyone quickly towards the granary he said.
Smooth, unbelievably smooth! It seemed that everything was going according to the truth, and the defenders who were lying in ambush underground were all out late at night, and it was not yet dark, and it was time for them to sleep.
Along the way, they even found some defenders who were lying on the ground or leaning against the wall sleeping soundly, and before they could find it, Sergeant Jiangdong quickly touched it and cut his throat with a short knife.
The defenders were still sleeping soundly, and there was no sign of resistance.
Sun Tzucai sincerely thanked God and He Si for giving him a good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
The tunnel is getting wider and wider, and it can accommodate three people walking side by side, and ever-bright oil lamps have appeared on the walls on both sides.
He Si pointed to the place with more lights in front of him: "There, it's their underground granary." ”
Under the illumination of the lights, a defender finally spotted them and warned loudly: "Oh no, the enemy has touched in, the enemy has touched in!" ”
Sun Zicai waved the short knife in his hand: "Brothers, kill!" ”
The Koto sergeants shouted in unison and rushed towards the granary.
The defenders fired their bows and crossbows in unison, desperately defending.
The Koto sergeants hated the defenders who had come out to harass them at night, and three hundred sergeants braved the rain of arrows with shields and daggers.
The defenders were outnumbered, and they had just woken up from a dream, and they couldn't resist after a while, Liu He shouted loudly: "Withdraw, retreat quickly, withdraw to the next granary and hold on!" After saying that, he threw down more than a dozen corpses and led the remnants of the army to withdraw to the depths of the tunnel.
Sun Tzu left fifty sergeants to look at the granary, and asked people to quickly report back to the ground, asking Lü Meng to send people down to garrison and move grain, and he wanted to lead his subordinates to pursue the victory and annihilate all those underground defenders.
